thanks for the welcome guys , from coventry originally and i really cant wait (seriously) to pick my new toy up , i need to go and set up a photobucket account to upload my photos (seems alot of effort when the pics on my pc) so as soon as i get round to it and start taking pics of my bike (need to strip it and clean it to my standards 1st) il post them . Its the blue/white colour scheme with 17500 miles on the clock , been a biker since i was a child , 1st ever bike was a yz125 and was always out tearing up the fields with it , past my test at 21 and my 1st road bike was gxsr 1100 , had a rgv250 vfr400 r6 and my blade before the r1 which im the most excited about . Always up for a blast (as long as its not raining) so hope to get out with a few of you

if you like hooning around get a steering damper on it if there's not one already fitted & get in the 5jj section loads in there about them

Jumping out of gear , normally when in second gear, very common fault is 2nd and 5th gear dogs bending.
